 ***All recipes are for ONE meal. I tripled each recipe for my 3mth stockpile**

1 lb Keilbasa, chunked up
1 Onion Chopped
1 Celery Stalk Chopped

1.5 tsp Dry mustard
¼ cup Honey
1 can Tomatoes with Chili Peppers
3 cans Black beans

Add all the above ingredients to the bag and seal. Once ready to cook add frozen to crockpot and cook on low all day (7-8 hours). Everything is already cooked you are just thawing it, and softening the onion and celery.

Honey & Spice Glazed Pork Chops

Cooking spray
4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 

 Place all ingredients in to the bag, seal and freeze. When ready to cook add to your crockpot frozen and cook on high 7-8 hours.

 Pizza Casserole

1 lb macaroni, cooked
1 jar or can of spaghetti sauce
1lb mozzarella cheese
1 package of pepperoni

Place cooked macaroni on the bottom of a casserole dish, top with spaghetti sauce. Add a layer of pepperoni, a layer of cheese, and second layer of pepperoni.

To seal I place a layer of plastic wrap on top of the food. Then a layer of tin foil, followed by wrapping plastic wrap all the way around the pan several times to hold the tinfoil in place.

When ready to prepare you have a few options.
1. Take the coverings off and then replace the tin foil. Place the frozen casserole in the oven and  Cook at 325 for 1-2 hours till thawed and warm. Remove the tinfoil and let the cheese get slightly browned.
 2. Thaw completely then cook at 350 for 20-30min until the cheese is melted and brown and the casserole is heated through.

Savory Vegetable Beef Soup

2 lbs Beef Roast

1 Onion, chopped

1 can v8

1 28oz can diced tomatoes

2 cans green beans

1 TBSP Worcestershire 

1 cup Beef Broth

Place all ingredients in bag. Be careful with your potatoes as they will brown if they are allowed to make prolonged contact with air. I put mine in the center of the bag and added the liquids on top of them. When ready to cook place thawed contents into Crockpot with 3 cups of water and 30 oz Beef Broth. Cook on LOW 8 Hours.
